We’re on a planet with an urgent problem. How shall we respond?

Robert Haw and Roger Klemm from NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory join us for a talk that explains climate science in easily understood terms, discusses why human-induced climate change is real and alarming, and illustrates growing manifestations of global warming such as Feedback Loops and extinction rates.  Many of the changes in our world are evident in the biosphere, and we will address local effects, especially on native plants.

While it’s easy to despair at the magnitude of the problem, everybody who is responsible for a piece of land can do something. Incorporating native plants into your yard can transform your space into a vital piece of support for our biosphere.

Poppy Hour is our California native plant internet mashup. Part interviews, part garden tour, part happy hour, we explore the amazing diversity of people and ideas that connect to Southern California plants and landscapes. Join us!
